SPECIFICATIONS

Commercial 5005
EN 5005
Aluminium alloy 5005 is a medium strength alloy with
very good resistance to atmospheric corrosion and very
good weldability that is highly suitable for decorative
anodising. PLEASE NOTE THAT WHILST ALLOY 5005 IS
SUITABLE FOR ANODISING, STREAKS CAN OCCUR - IF
THE FINISH YOU ARE SEEKING IS CRITICAL PLEASE
SPECIFY 'SPECIAL ANODISING QUALITY' AT TIME OF
ORDER.
Applications - Alloy 5005 is typically used for:
Buildings Roofing, Cladding, Corrugated Sheet
Signage, Road Signs & Name Plates
Food & Chemical Equipment
Furniture
Anodised Parts
HVAC Equipment
Packaging
Pipe and Tube
Can Bodies

ALLOY DESIGNATIONS



TEMPER TYPES
The most common tempers for 5005 aluminium are:
H34 - Stabilised - A low temperature thermal
treatment or heat introduced during manufacture
which stabilises the mechanical properties and
relieves residual internal stress, plus usually
improves ductility
